Our Second Case from Beloved Nikki McClure!

We’re
so excited to work with the talented Nikki McClure on a new Artist
Series Bamboo iPad Case featuring her breathtaking piece “Mendocino”! Nikki’s heartfelt design “Mother” is already featured in our Bamboo iPhone Case Artist Series.

An
artist of the Pacific Northwest, Nikki McClure lives and makes art in
Olympia, Washington. Nikki creates intricate and beautiful paper cuts
using an X-acto knife and single sheets of paper. Common themes of her
images include nature, activism, community, motherhood, and a plethora
of virtues - hard work, patience, and appreciation for family and simple
pleasures. Her work often depicts celebratory scenes of everyday life: a
toolbox, a flock of birds, someone gardening, a woman laying in the
grass, a family going for a swim.

Nikki
is a veteran of the Riot Grrrl rock movement and has been involved with
Olympia record labels K and Kill Rock Stars. She continues to produce
her paper cut images on posters, cards, albums, t-shirts, and a yearly
calendar. She has also worked on many award-winning books for adults and
children through Abrams and Sasquatch, among other publishers. Cutting Her Own Path, a look at the past 16 years of Nikki McClure’s work, opens at the Bellevue Art Museum in Nov. 2012. See more about her at NikkiMcClure.com and purchase her work through Buy Olympia.
